Happenings This Week

Okay the most exciting news I have  this week is that mum got a new car. I'm so excited I wish I could drive just to get  a wee shot of it but even if I had had passed my driving  test its unlikely that I would be driving it.  I'm not on the insurance. If I was on the insurance  then I could but there's no point when I pass my  test I'll try to get my own car so getting put on the insurance is pointless for the moment but it is different. 

 Our old car was a Peugeot 106. No power steering. No central locking. No radio. This car has all those things and more. It's a yellow Peugeot 107 and it's great. I won't get to spend much time in it tho. Mum spends all her time working so she needs it. Shame!

I keep thinking about cars and flats and all those things that most independent adults have. Not that I'm anywhere near ready to have all those things myself but I find  myself looking up these things in my spare time. I don't have the  money to actually get any of these things but I can dream. Truth be told I don't reckon I'll move out until after I leave the  education system which might be years and years from now. 

The bad thing about having your mum as your boss is that you get very little time off during your holidays I have two weeks off of college and I swear I haven't had a full day off since I was at college. I find myself being booked in for shifts without even being consulted. Today I was told that I'm working tomorrow morning. Told, not asked.   Don't get me wrong when the paycheck comes in I like it but it interrupts  my plans for the day.

Recently I have started to get back into watching Anime. I used to watch it as a kid and I've just recently started watching Fruit's Basket. I'm really getting into it. I  love Yumi's character and Ayame is really funny. He's so vain.  I have also use my Holiday from college to level up my character  on Ragnarok Online. I love to play it in my spare time but with  college my free time has been few and far between.  My best friends 'thisiscarole' and 'spazzyhawk' both play it and we often have skype conversations while playing. I tried drawing my high archer character using my older laptop.

  

My older laptop is the one I use for college as my newer one doesnt have Microsoft Office. I refuse to throw away my old one despite that fact it has barely any memory and I have a much faster one and its mainly due to the screen. My screen on older laptop flips and can be used as a graphics tablet which for someone doing design is a godsend. I did try making do with my old graphics tablet but I think its broken as it constantly clicks whether I want it to or not. On photoshop this is very bad as I can't stop it from drawing

I did one of those grown up things  that normal people do the night before last. I went to the pub with my best friend for the first time. I know it seems pretty pathetic. Most people my age (18) are out clubbing  and stuff already but I've never been like that. In fact I went to my first club at Christmas and I have never felt more out of place in my life. I disliked it so much I couldn't stop crying and I just wanted to go home. The pub was  nice. There was karaoke and I got up and sang. My friend was too much of a wimp!! lol  

 

Usually there would be three of us but I didn't think that it was 'thisiscarole's scene she doesn't like pubs and things. I tried convincing her to go to the Rocky Horror Picture Show in February but she didn't like the idea. It's back in august by popular demand and I'm not taking no for an answer this time. In February I ended up going with my Gran so if my Gran can sit through it and  enjoy it so can she. I won't force her but I will try my  hardest to convince her. My friend 'spazzyhawk' has already agreed. He's going away for college at the end of august so we won't see him much during the term. Generally we don't do much during college times anyway.

I was out with 'thisiscarole'  and 'spazzyhawk'. We met up in town and then got something at Mc Donald's and then went to Braehead shopping centre. There is a sort of mini funfair out the back so we went on the  dodgems and Twister and that thing that take you in the air in a circle. On that last one I accidentally  smashed the screen of my phone. It flew out my  pocket. I didn't even notice till we went to get the bus home. Luckily I asked 'thisiscarole' to phone my  phone cos I could find it in my bag and the lady that ran the ride answered. The bus hadn't left yet so I was really lucky. It still works but the screen is cracked so I need to get my mum to ring the insurance.  When we usually go out we normally go bowling then back to 'thisiscarole's house so this was a refreshing change even if I am kicking myself about my phone. I got a case for my phone  so that once I've got a replacement I won't break it.
